#NewYorkValues: New Yorkers hit back at Republican presidential hopeful Ted Cruz's jibe

Several GOP presidential candidates have slammed Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton for her role before and after the attack in Benghazi, saying she knew from the start it was an act of terrorism.

But he continued, in rhetoric that made clear the apology wasn’t the one expected of him: “I apologize to the millions of New Yorkers who have been let down by liberal politicians in that state”.

Cruz reportedly suggested that Trump’s attacks came in response to a new poll that showed him losing in a head-to-head competition with the senator.

“I would note that Donald’s record does not match what he says as a candidate”, Cruz said, gamely tackling questions he routinely swatted away for seven months. “I told you so”, he wrote.

“He talks about he’s going to be Robin Hood … then you find out that on his personal disclosure form he didn’t disclose that he’s borrowing a lot of money”, Trump said. His mother was a USA citizen and his father is Cuban.

The Texas senator, then asked for some differences on national security between him and Trump, offered that was unaware of what Trump’s foreign policy is.

There was no lack of fireworks in the Republican debates Thursday with New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie arguing with Florida Sen.

If Ted Cruz gets the Republican presidential nomination and wants to name Donald Trump as his vice president, Democrats will go after Trump with lawsuits.

Here are some of the more memorable moments from Thursday night’s Republican debates.

But if the attack peels away even a small portion of Cruz’s voters, it could help Trump, who trails Cruz by just 3 percentage points in Iowa. “I think the political impact will be pretty minor”. Reporter: Those comments spurred Hillary Clinton to do the impossible. On both sides right now, tight races and tension in particular that showdown right there between one time friends Donald Trump and Ted Cruz and just a few minutes ago, trump upping the ante on Twitter.

Vincent DeVito, a Boston lawyer who represented President George W. Bush during the contested 2000 presidential election, said the suit was “likely defective” and should have been filed in state court.

But Bush now sits at 4 percent in Iowa, down from a high of 9 percent in May.

The jab appeared to be an attempt to dismantle Trump’s identity as a conservative, but many said it backfired after an emotional response from Trump, who was born and raised in Queens. Trump typically jets in and out of the state for single campaign rallies.

Since the summer, Trump has gathered thousands of people into stadiums and farms like the one he lit up Friday in Urbandale, Iowa.
